(Which you can stream via Pluto TV for free, if you don't have it on cable/satellite.) I'm not really feeling it, either, but I haven't seen the Pops since CBS stopped airing it. I always looked forward to it. I think they have the best fireworks. They seem to get the newest ones first, like the smiley faces, "Saturn", cubes, etc. It's fun to see what new things they come up with.

Chaka Khan is putting on a pretty good show...

I immediately switched over from CNN. Music is so much better. Except for Washington DC music, music( if you want to call it that)on CNN presentation was shitty imo.

I didn't like or even know who most of the entertainment was.

I'm getting old.
